“I don’t know how to write love letters,” Frida Kahlo wrote in 1946. “But I wanted to tell you that my whole being opened for you. Since I fell in love with you everything is transformed and is full of beauty… love is like an aroma, like a current, like rain.”

Frida Kahlo As You’ve (Probably) Never Seen Her Before

Though she was often photographed as an adult, Frida Kahlo has less photographs from her childhood. That’s what makes the photos in this image gallery so special. Taken by her father, and showing Kahlo as young as two, they reveal a different side of the famous Mexican artist.
